C.Place the mix pump switch in the ON position. The mix pump switch is located in the upper left hand corner, inside the refrigerated cabinet (see Figure 21). Immediately open the spigot and let approxi mately 8 ounces of liquid mix with sanitizing solu tion drain out of the spigot.

D.Close the spigot and open the air bleed valve on the front door by pushing the valve in and holding. Allow the barrel to fill until the mix level is 1/2" (2.7 cm) below air bleed valve, then release valve and pull closed to lock in place.

E.Place the OFF-ON switch in the ON position, then press and hold the PUSH TO FREEZE switch until the freezer starts.

NOTE

After the Drive Motor starts, there will be a 3 second delay before the Compressor starts.

F.After about 6 to 10 minutes the freezer will shut off and the green lens will illuminate. SERVE will be dis played on the LCD screen. The product will be ready to serve. Freeze down time may be shorter for some frozen diet dessert mixes. High ambient temperatures may extend freeze down time.

G.The refrigeration is automatically actuated when the spigot is opened.For normal dispensing, move the spigot handle fully open. This position provides excellent control over the product and aids in making desired shaped portions. Spigot Rate Adjusters are located under the Header Panel, to the immediate right of each Spigot Handle. Turning the Spigot Rate Adjuster clockwise will increase the dispense rate (see Figure 22).

The freezer is designed to dispense the product at a reasonable draw rate. If the freezer is overdrawn, the result will be a soft product and air pops. If this should occur, allow the freezer to run for approximately 30

seconds before dispensing additional product. After a while the operator will sense or feel when the freezer is beginning to fall behind, and will slow down on the rate of draw so as not to exceed the freezer's capacity.

Do not operate the freezer when the MIX LOW light is on or with less than 1-3/4" (4.4 cm) of mix in the mix container. Refill the mix container immediately.

NOTE

The freezer has a standby and sleep mode. When the freezer is not used, after a preset number of freezing cycles, it will enter the stand by mode ( followed by sleep mode) and remain there until someone draws a product or pushes the push- to-freeze switch. In the sleep mode, the freezer will keep the product below 45°F (7.2°C). Sleep modes are not to be used in place of cleaning and sanitizing. Frequency of cleaning and sanitizing is determined by Federal, State, and local regulatory agencies.

3.11 MIX INFORMATION

Mix can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another. Differences in the amount of butter-fat content and quantity and quality of other ingredients have a direct bearing on the finished frozen product. A change in freezer performance that cannot be explained by a technical problem may be related to the mix.

Proper product serving temperature varies from one manufacturer's mix to another. Mixes should provide a satisfactory product in the 17° to 20°F (-7° to -6°C) range. Diet and low-carb mixes typically freeze to proper consistency at higher temperatures.

When checking the temperature, stir the thermometer in the frozen product to read the true temperature.

Mixdoesnotimprovewithage.Oldmix,ormixthathasbeen stored at too high a temperature, can result in a finished product that is less than satisfactory from the appearance and taste standpoint. To retard bacteria growth in dairy based mixes, the best storage temperature range is between 36° to 40°F (2.2° to 4.4° C).
